The defense for Federal Crime Charges in Houston

Proven Results and a Reputation for Success in Federal Crime Counsel

Although the vast majority of
criminal cases are filed in Texas state courts, some cases are filed by the U.S. Attorney’s
Office in federal court. U.S. Attorneys prosecute these cases on behalf
of the federal government. Federal criminal offenses differ substantially
from state criminal offenses, both in the court system in which they are
filed and the penalties that can result. Therefore, you need an experienced
Houston federal criminal defense attorney on your side who knows how to
defend against federal charges and routinely handles cases in federal courts.

"It was unbelievably reassuring the reception Mr. Cogdell gets when entering
the courtroom.
I knew I was in good hands." - Former Client

The U.S. Attorney’s Office typically pursues the following types
of cases in federal court:

U.S. Attorneys Have More Resources to Prosecute Federal Crimes

Some of the most important aspects of federal prosecutions are that U.S.
Attorneys handle significantly fewer cases than do prosecutors in Texas
state courts, focus on more serious criminal offenses, and have more resources
at their disposal in order to do so. Therefore, you should take all inquiries
and investigations by the federal government very seriously, even if you
have not been charged with any crime.

In any situation involving a federal investigation, arrest, or charges,
it is essential that you immediately contact a seasoned Houston federal
crime lawyer who can protect your rights from the very outset of any accusations
that the federal government may be making against you. Mr. Cogdell and
his firm offer you over three decades of experience in dealing with and
successfully defending cases. He and his team will handle your case personally.
